Variational perturbation expansions have recently been used to calculate directly the strong-coupling expansion coefficients of the anharmonic oscillator. The convergence is exponentially fast with superimposed oscillations, as recently…
As an application of a recently developed variational perturbation theory we find the first 22 terms of the convergent strong-coupling series expansion for the ground state energy of the quartic anharmonic oscillator.
We present numerical evidence that a simple variational improvement of the ordinary perturbation theory of the quantum anharmonic oscillator can give a convergent sequence of approximations even in the extreme strong coupling limit, the…
The main issue of this work consists in extracting one or several finite values for the sum of series involved in perturbation theories. It is supposed to work for all cases in which two physical parameters are involved, and makes thorough…
The variational perturbation theory for wave functions, which has been shown to work well for bound states of the anharmonic oscillator, is applied to resonance states of the anharmonic oscillator with negative coupling constant. We obtain…
A method is described for the extrapolation of perturbative expansions in powers of asymptotically small coupling parameters or other variables onto the region of finite variables and even to the variables tending to infinity. The method…
Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order…
We investigate the convergence properties of a perturbation method proposed some time ago and reveal some of it most interesting features. Anharmonic oscillators in the strong--coupling limit prove to be appropriate illustrative examples…
The `strong-coupling' perturbation theory over the inverse interaction constant $1/g$ near the nontrivial solution of Lagrange equation is formulated. The ordinary `week-coupling' perturbation theory over $g$ is described also to compare…
For many physical quantities, theory supplies weak- and strong-coupling expansions of the types $\sum a_n \alpha ^n$ and $ \alpha ^p\sum b_n (\alpha^{-2/q) ^n$, respectively. Either or both of these may have a zero radius of convergence. We…
We prove a powerful scaling property for the extremality condition in the recently developed variational perturbation theory which converts divergent perturbation expansions into exponentially fast convergent ones. The proof is given for…
For the Cos(2x)-Potential the coefficients of the weak- and strong coupling perturbation series of the ground state energy are constructed recursively. They match the well-known expansion coefficients of the Mathieu equation's…
Perturbation theory can be reformulated as dynamical theory. Then a sequence of perturbative approximations is bijective to a trajectory of dynamical system with discrete time, called the approximation cascade. Here we concentrate our…
We derive recursively the perturbation series for the ground-state energy of the D-dimensional anharmonic oscillator and resum it using variational perturbation theory (VPT). From the exponentially fast converging approximants, we extract…
A strong-weak coupling duality symmetry of the string equations of motion has been suggested in the literature. This symmetry implies that vacua occur in pairs. Since the coupling constant is a dynamical variable in string theory, tunneling…
The problem is addressed of defining the values of functions, whose variables tend to infinity, from the knowledge of these functions at asymptotically small variables close to zero. For this purpose, the extrapolation by means of different…
We analytically examine fluctuations of vorticity excited by an external random force in two-dimensional fluid. We develop the perturbation theory enabling one to calculate nonlinear corrections to correlation functions of the flow…
We extend the theory of weakly coupled oscillators to incorporate slowly varying inputs and parameters. We employ a combination of regular perturbation and an adiabatic approximation to derive equations for the phase-difference between a…
We present a method for extracting tunnelling amplitudes from perturbation expansions which are always divergent and not Borel-summable. We show that they can be evaluated by an analytic continuation of variational perturbation theory. The…
This work is a follow-up to our previous work "A numerical approach related to defect-type theories for some weakly random problems in homogenization" (preprint available on this archive). It extends and complements, both theoretically and…
